That's really a terrible picture, but from my best guess that is your ignition coil, not a relay. Sorry if I'm completely wrong, but that's the only thing I can think of being bolted there.

um well its gone cause every wire on it went to the comp. oh and u say keep the comp if i wunt guages to work? well the comp doesn;t control any guages so i don;t think i need to worry about that, i know wut every damn wire does now after today. i just went nuts and got all my wireing done and threw the damn computer. well actually i placed it nicely on the bench lol

i hate to disagree but i don't think that is your coil, b/c the coil sits a little closer to the cap. i think it might be to you a/c but i could be wrong b/c it might be the coil but the picture is hard to make out
